Is it possible to show navbar for a web resource in Dynamics CRM?

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible to show the navbar for Dynamics CRM when you're loading a web resource directly with url( /WebResources/WebResource?data=exampleData ). I have tried with /WebResources/WebResource?data=exampleData&web=true but no luck.

I have been able to show the navbar for my web resource when adding it to the navigation menu and loading it with this url( /main.aspx?page=Area&area=NewSubArea&web=true ). But I haven't been able to pass data in the url with this solution.

Unfortunately navBar option is available only for Xrm.Navigation.openForm under entityFormOptions , where you can give the values on/off/entity

For Xrm.Navigation.openWebResource that option is not there, so only way to achieve is copying the CRM CSS classes from browser developer toolbar & use it in your HTML to match the look & feel. This is unsupported as it may break in future.

But you can inspire the CSS file content & mimic in custom CSS as web resources.
